| Summary | "The Rider of Waroona" by G. Firth Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. It unfolds the story of Crotchety Dudgeon, an irascible and wealthy landowner in Australia, who harbors deep-seated resentment towards women, stemming from a past betrayal involving love and revenge. The narrative intricately weaves themes of vengeance, human emotions, and the consequences of isolation, set against the backdrop of the Australian outback. The opening of the novel introduces us to Dudgeon as he journeys to the bank in his dilapidated buggy. His character is established through his eccentricity and his history of heartbreak caused by Kitty Lambton, who, along with her lover, disappeared from his life years ago. This betrayal left him a bitter man, accumulating wealth yet refusing to trust women or those connected to them, leading to strict policies on his properties. As the plot begins to unfold, we sense a brewing conflict between Dudgeon and Mrs. Nora Burke, the woman who is set to purchase his estate, further complicating his already fraught existence. The stage is set for a dramatic exploration of Dudgeon's past and current dilemmas, as well as the intricate web of relationships within the tightly-knit community.
